<i>smallest allowed BM</i> - Networks with a bitmask smaller than the value of smallest_bm can't be listed and don't have host entries.<p>
<i>"ping" timeout</i> - Ping timeout for "host check" and for manual synchronization against DNS. These parameter only takes effect with <a href="http://www.gestioip.net/docu/Ping_External_Timeout_Problem.txt">patched Ping::External</a> Perl Modul.<br><p><br>
<i><b>manual synchronization</b></i><p>
The manual synchronization updates all entries of a network via PTR queries against the DNS. If an IP address can be resolved to a hostname the entry will be added to the database. If you have generic rDNS entries configured, automatic actualization  will update the database with this entries. To avoid that the database would be filled with this type of entries type, insert an <i>ignore</i>-string and set <i>ignore generic auto</i> to "yes". If the rDNS entry matches <i>ignore</i>-string or "generic auto PTR entry" (see <i>ignore generic auto</i>) and the address answers to "ping", the hostname would be set to "unknown". If the address doesn't answer to ping the entry would be ignored.<p>
<i>ignore</i> - Generic rDNS entries to ignore when synchronizing a network. If your generic rDNS entries doesn't match "generic auto PTR entries" (see <i>ignore generic auto</i>) set here the strings to ignore. Example: rDNS entry: dhcp-2.3.5.2.gestioip.net -> <i>ignore</i>: dhcp-
<p>
<i>ignore generic auto</i> - Set this value to "no" if the update script should NOT ignore DNS entries that match auto generated generic DNS PTR entries.  Example: IP: 1.2.3.4 -> generic auto PTR entries generated by Gesti&oacute;IP: 4-3-2 and 2-3-4. With <i>ignore generic auto</i> set to "yes" Gesti&oacute;IP ignores IP's that match generic auto PTR entries<p>
<i>generic-dynamic name</i> - set here generic names (assigned via DHCP) which should be ignored by manual network synchronization against DNS, Example: PC-,LAP- (if dynamically assigned names are like PC-001, PC-002, LAP-001, LAP-002). This can be useful to avoid that updates of automatic synchronization against OCS would be overwritten - coma separated list, case sensitive<p>
<i>max number parallel processes</i> -  Maximal number of parallel processes to fork when synchronizing a network manually<p>

<i>Delete AUTO audit events older than...</i> - To delete AUTOMATIC audit events from the database. Automatic events are events which are generated from the automatic actualization (ip_update_gestioip_dns.pl, ip_update_gestioip_ocs.pl and get_networks_snmp.pl)<p>
<i>Delete MAN audit events older than...</i> - To delete MANUAL audit events from the database. Manual events are all events which are generated from actions made via web-frontend<p>

<i>networks</i> - Column with networks. Example format supported entries: 192.168.0.0 - entries which doesn't match the format will be ignored<p>
<i>netmask/bitmask</i> - Column with netmask or bitmask (columns with mixed netmask and bitmask are supported, too). Example format supported entries: 24, 255.255.255.0 - entries which doesn't match the format will be ignored<p>
<i>networks and netmask/bitmask in one column</i> - Column with both, network and net/bitmask. If your spreadsheet contains one column with both, networks and net/bitmasks, leave <i>networks</i> and <i>netmask/bitmask</i> blank. Examples format supported entries: 1.1.1.0/24, 1.1.1.0/255.255.255.255, 1.1.1.0-24, 1.1.1.0 - 24, 1.1.1.0 xyz 24 - entries which doesn't match the format will be ignored<p>
